Ariba H. says, "She really made sure that every concept I struggled with was addressed and that by the end of our time together were ones that i fully understood. She really puts her all into each lesson and never brushes over anything. She also never made me feel bad for not understanding anything which was really beneficial to me wanting to come into our sessions everyday. Overall she is an amazing tutor and I really wouldn't have improved my score as much as i was able to without her help." Read more

I am flexible with the study material and focus on what the family needs. If the student needs help with math one session and then history the next, I can adapt. I have a daughter in grade school, so I have firsthand experience at what today's students are going through. I want to give my students the support and advice I was unable to benefit from at their ages.

Hi, my name is Colin, and I love working with students! The most rewarding part of tutoring for me is when a new concept “clicks” with a student - their excitement is contagious, and it’s a privilege to be able to help them reach that point! On a more personal level, I am a gamer, musician, and outdoorsy type of person! I partner with students on a one-on-one basis in STEM subjects through SoFlo Tutors, my tutoring agency. I studied Applied and Computational Math at the University of Southern California and have been tutoring for 3 years. At SoFlo, we raise grades, strengthen understanding, and increase confidence by identifying gaps in a st

My daughter had to write a pre-algebra test in a few days and I was concerned she was struggling. I contacted SoFlo online, expressed my concern and in spite of the tight schedule they moved things around to accommodate my daughter. I witnessed the session and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I love the teaching method, and that my daughter was offered multiple methods to solve the same problem. I recommend SoFlo highly!

One more person to add to your list of SoFlo successes! One need not look any further for a statistics tutor. Our tutor Manny yield successful results! His experience is evident as is his love of teaching. He identified my problems at their root and created a customized plan to help me improve. My tutor is a great motivator, making the material relevant and easy to understand with nice examples. Thank you for helping restore my confidence. The world needs great teachers as talented and devoted as you are Manny. I can say that you are in a league of your own. What a great mathematician/statistician you are! I tried two other statistics instructors that had great reviews and high credentials, but they did not make a positive enough impact on my statistics learning like you were able to do for me. They also charged more. I achieved more learning in less time when you taught. You're smart and you care for all the right reasons. My only regret or misfortune was that I had not discovered you earlier. Results are achievable with you! I'm living proof!

Let me tell you, you are getting the best of the best with Patrick! He is a great human. I taught Patrick and two of his six siblings as a first grade teacher at Our Saviour Grade School. They were some of the smartest children I have ever taught, even today. I am still friends with his mother and father. I watched Patrick grow from a precocious boy to a responsible young man as he is a friend of my daughter as well. When he was in town for a while after graduating from Notre Dame, I was tutoring and one of my students needed help in an advanced math class. I didn’t feel I able to provide the guidance that he needed so I asked Pat. He gladly met my student and me and with ease, and an innate ability quickly explained what I could not! I have no doubt that he has the skills and abilities to guide your daughter to a better understanding of trigonometry. Please consider Patrick for the position of tutor for your son or daughter. I believe you will be very satisfied.

After several months of ACT tutoring with another highly-regarded private tutor, my daughter's ACT score didn't budge over 3 tests. Then she met with Laura for 6 weeks, and her score jumped 4 points. We are thrilled! Laura also successfully helped our daughter with her Common Application and essay. She was responsive and easy to communicate with via email (or phone.) I highly recommend her!
